"Just for the record, I think that's the answer:

Right-click on the Start button
Click on Properties
Select the Start Menu tab
Press the Customize button
Select the Advanced tab
Scroll down through the Start menu items list
Check the box next to Search and Run
Press OK twice

If that doesn't work because the item was already checked, then UNcheck it, press OK, go back in and then REcheck it."
